Statement

Yvonne Cullivan’s work emerges from deep observation of personal, cultural, and environmental spheres undergoing transformation. Utilizing mixed-media, including photography, interviews, drawing, printmaking, audio and video, she practices a contemplation of transformation. Cullivan often welcomes public participation in her projects to create outcomes communally shaped and collectively responsive. Her work bears witness to the cyclical processes of evolution and acclimatization and thus becomes a reflection on the nature of time itself.
